    Chemistry BA

    I wanted to make one of these things to represent UofC on this site since there aren\'t many recent profiles. I did a lot of research in college (wasn\'t premed but took all the prereqs b/c of my major) and graduated 2 quarters early. I worked a career completely unrelated to medicine for 2.5 years after graduation, then got back into research for another 2 years while I applied.

    Overall my application has a lot of research, some unique work experience, only a little shadowing, and almost no volunteering at all. I think I partially made up for these deficiencies by focusing on schools that seem to value research over service or value strong school/grades/mcat more than the norm. I did my best to sell how my work and life experiences translated towards being a driven and compassionate doctor. I also did a fair amount of book-reading about being a doctor and problems in healthcare. This didn\'t go on my application specifically but it definitely helped me articulate why I wanted to be a doctor and why I would be a good one.
